"This is the hell on Earth time for us with E3."

In an interview DualShockers, Bethesda marketing guy Pete Hines either gave the least subtle hint ever that Doom II is coming, or just expertly raised our collective hopes in order to dash them come June.

“I couldn’t give you any guesses as to what we’re going to announce and when those games will be out,” Hines said. “But I will say, we have a lot of new stuff to talk about at E3. Whether or not folks realise it, this is the hell on Earth time for us with E3.”

For those confused: Hell of Earth is the subtitle of id Software’s 1994 industry-shaking FPS sequel Doom II.

Hines also pretty much confirmed that last year’s possibly underappreciated immersive sim Prey is getting DLC.

“I don’t think you’ve heard the last of Prey,”he said. “I just couldn’t tell you precisely when you might hear more.”
